Currency
In Belgium, Germany and Netherlands the currency that
you will need is Euros.
Passengers should exchange any spending money for their
holiday before they actually travel. Whilst on tour it is very
inconvenient and not all places you will visit will have ATM
machines or accept credit/debit cards.
We also advise our passengers to keep some change in coins
on them whilst on tour as using toilets in many parts of Europe
is not free.
USD, GBP or travellers cheques are not widely accepted
at locations in this tour.
Distances
An important point to note whilst on a touring holiday is
that some long journeys are unavoidable especially when
travelling from city to city.
It is advisable passengers carry necessities that they may
need for the day such as water, dry snacks, cameras etc. with
them in their hand luggage.
For this tour it should be noted that the travel times are
extensive on this tour.

Hotels
Not all hotels in this tour will have air-conditioning so
you should carry a small portable fan with you especially
during the summer months.
Please also note that not all hotels provide a kettle so if
hot water is required for warming milk etc. in the hotel then
it is advisable to carry a bottle warmer/kettle as well as a
thermos flask. Passengers may also want to carry a small travel
iron and hairdryer etc., as many hotel rooms may not have these
facilities.
Some hotels in Europe, especially Holland and France will
provide two single beds put together as a Double occupancy
room, as this sort of configuration allows the hotel to use a
room for multi-use, we do contract with such hotels, and you
should be prepared for such eventualities.
If you use services such as the phone or mini-bar or pay TV
whilst in your room, you will have to pay the hotel directly
when you check out; these services are not included in your
tour cost.
The maximum occupancy per room on this tour is 3 person(s).
The maximum occupancy during March to May per room may be 2
person(s).
Other Advisories
Keukenhof
The Keukenhof tulip garden visit will be timed, the gardens
are very expansive, and the time given will give you a glimpse
of the numerous bulbs. It is advisable you go through the
Keukenhof website in advance to distinguish what key sights you
want to cover in your limited time.
Disneyland® Paris
Disneyland Paris can get busy, especially at peak times, so
it makes sense to orientate yourself before you arrive by going
onto the website and looking at the latest map. Theres a
lot to see so you might like to prioritise your must-do
attractions to avoid disappointment. But one should try not
missing the famous Disney Parades when the much-loved Disney
characters take to the streets for a unique and interactive
experience. Please note on this tour you will not be staying in
Disney until it closes so you will not see the evening
firework, Parade or illuminations. Should you wish to do this,
then you will need to make your own way back to the Hotel, and
you will miss the dinner and transfers for which no
compensation will be due.
The resort itself comprises of two parks: The Disneyland
Park, packed with rides and attractions, and the Walt Disney
Studios Park. Your tickets will allow you access into any one
of these parks.
When you arrive at the park, you might like to consider
using the Fastpass service, a free service which helps you to
cut down on waiting times for some of the attractions (subject
to availability and operation).
Pick up and Drop off points & Times
Passengers should arrive at their pick-up point no later
than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Your
pick-up point, address and time will be stated on your invoice.
If you have selected a pick-up time outside of Wembley,
Southall or East Ham then you will be confirmed your pick-up
time.
Return journeys from the continent are scheduled to arrive
at Dover or Folkestone between 19.00hrs and 20.00hrs
approximately. We will then proceed to the original pick-up
points in London (arrival time between 22.30hrs and
00.30hrs+1)
Outside London pick up points: Transportation may be
arranged by a private car, minibus or an alternative coach for
your journey to and from London. On rare occasions there may be
up to an hour wait for a connecting transfer on the return.
Passengers can expect to receive a call from Star to confirm
details a day prior to their departure. Star Tours reserves the
right to amend any pick-up time 12 hours prior to
departure.
The below pick-up points may not be available for this
tour:
Brussels
Paris (Drop-off Only)
Dover (subject to availability)
Calais (subject to availability)
Schengen Visa Details
Visas & Passports
A passport valid for three months beyond the length of stay
and issued within the past ten years is required by all
nationals. If you hold an Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladesh
Passport, you must obtain a Schengen visa before
travelling.
Many nationalities, such as British, EU and American
nationals, do not require Schengen visas. Should you need
further clarification, please get in touch with us.
Weather
Weather in much of Western Europe tends to be the same as in
England and is unpredictable. Therefore, regardless of the time
of the year, it is advisable to carry an umbrella.
Temperatures vary from place to place. Therefore, it is a
good idea to check online for average temperatures for the
destination(s) being visited, depending on the time of the
year. On a multi-destination tour, passengers will likely
travel through various weather fronts; whilst in Switzerland,
during excursions to mountain tops, passengers may experience
temperatures between 0 °c and 2 °c while simultaneously
experiencing temperatures of over 30 °c whilst they are in
France.
Passengers can be well prepared by carrying appropriate
clothing, footwear and accessories. Passengers should also be
aware that during the winter months, most of the sightseeing
will be in the dark as, in Europe, the day becomes dark very
early during winter.
Wheelchairs & Child Seats
We will accept lightweight manual wheelchairs for travel,
subject to them being capable of being stowed in the luggage
hold of the coach. It is also essential that a family member is
also on tour to push their wheelchair. Star Tours will also
request hotels for suitably equipped rooms; however, this is
only on a request basis and cannot be guaranteed. It should be
noted Mt Titlis & Eiffel Tower are not fully accessible for
wheelchair users. In addition, Brussels, Luzern, Lion Monument,
Pisa, Rome, Venice, and Florence will have cobbled streets,
which may not be suitable for wheelchairs.
In most of Europe, the use of child seats in coaches is
mandatory for children under the age of 12 or who are shorter
than 150 cm. Children under 7 years old or less than 125 cm
tall must use a child seat with a harness or a restraint
system. Children between 7 and 12 years old or between 125 and
150 cm tall must use a booster seat or a seat cushion. It is
the responsibility of the child's parent or guardian to provide
the appropriate child seat for their child.
